Peoples Democratic Party senator-elect for Ogun East
Senatorial District, Mr. Buruji Kashamu, has dragged the Chairman, National
Drug Law Enforcement Agency and 11 others to court over an alleged plot to
extradite him to the United States of America to face trial on alleged
drug-related offences.
Kashamu, who instituted a fundamental rights enforcement
action before a Federal High Court in Lagos, is seeking a declaration that the
move to abduct and forcibly transport
him to the United States of America amounted to a violation of his rights to liberty, freedom of association and
freedom of movement as protected by sections 35, 40 and 41 of the Constitution
He alleged that the plot was a further move in the the political designs of
former President Olusegun Obasanjo to ensure that he (Kashamu) was denied the
opportunity of enjoying the mandate freely given to him to represent the people
of Ogun East Senatorial District in the
Senate.
